Yeah, they look good though, you gotta look.
They're comfortable, they're comfortable.
I'm with it, that's good.
Give us the backstory, because I'm intrigued here.
You were born in Estonia, right?
And then, do the comedy first.
When did you start doing stand-up?
I started stand-up in Melbourne, Australia, because there was no real comedy scene in Estonia,
but I was, like, backpacking, slash trying to be an MMA fighter.
Okay.
It's a good combo.
I didn't know that. All right.
And then I met this crazy bitch...
from the U.S.
Okay.
She's like Mexican blood, but the U.S. passport.
One of the most powerful combinations of confidence. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know blood but the US passport. Okay, the most powerful combination sure
You know, uh-huh. This is in Australia
This was in Thailand. We met at the hostel. You know, what the fuck?
When did you start back how old are you when you when you start when you go out on this backpacking track?
I went I went with my girlfriend to Thailand when I was like maybe 19 with my Estonian sweet angel girlfriend
Okay, but then you go to Thailand and you're like, I think I need to come back alone
I got you a flight home. I'm gonna stay for the week. That's one of those places, you know sure
Okay, I couldn't find a hotel
Getting blown by three dudes
What that's a vacation baby?
Angels those men are there, huh? Sure.
Perfect skin.
No transitionary issues.
No.
The transition in Thailand from a guy to a gal,
it's literally seamless.
Different sunglasses.
Only the organ.
So you go over there on vacation with your girl,
you're in Thailand, and then take it from there and then I tried comedy in Estonia because I watched Eddie in my head
See this is the plan. I was like you have seen middleweight champ. Maybe light heavy. I'll see how sure
Yeah, and I'll do an HBO special on the side. Okay, just for fun cuz Eddie Murphy seems funny and I'm riffing
School. Uh-huh. I'm funny funny he's just talking I'm just talking.
So I started the delusion of a comic who before they start doing comedy is crazy.
I had it myself. Exactly. Two, three months I'll be doing movies.
Yeah but I mean I saw Dave Chappelle a little. I saw the For What It's Worth
clips. Where did you see Eddie Murphy jibbers on his time I saw was I was download peer-to-peer there was a do you know
lime wire and cuz I try to download Beverly Hills cop remember how you always
get the wrong you always get the wrong thing always a guy's dick and you wait
to like three days to download it and you open it up yeah so I see Eddie
Murphy it says Eddie Murphy I want better his cop and it says it's seven
megabytes and in my head like like, oh, what a deal.
I don't even think this is gonna be on.
So it was an audio file of.
I've done that too.
You just get the audio file.
He's delirious.
Okay.
And I remember being like,
cause you don't even know why,
why is there so many people laughing?
Like what's the bit?
And that's always like crazy that, you know,
he talks about his grandmother falling down the stairs
and there's like projects there and I'm like a white suburban kid in Eastern Europe
why would I even know what he's talking about? But that's when talent exceeds the reference.
You can put it in your brain.
Then it was Dave Chappelle for what it's worth. He's talking about, hey, baby, you know, the crack baby. What do I know about crack baby? Sure. Yeah. But the talent is
just there. So that was my first exposure. Then I remember I saw Louis CK clips, you know, I'm like
this fat guy. He's also because before I only saw Dave Chappelle and Eddie Murphy and I was like,
oh, you got to be black. You got to be. Yeah. Yeah. I like his Eastern European honesty.
You have to be black to be funny. Sure. But then I see you have to be black to be black you got to be yeah yeah like is Eastern European honesty you have to be black to be funny sure but then I see you have to be black to be a comedian
Louis CK and he's like you know looking top of shit yeah I love you I will one
of the greatest of all time one of the true Kings sure two Kings love his love
the work okay so then yeah you start getting exposed to what age is this this
is well the exposure starts maybe 30 how 17. How old are you now?
I'm sorry.
32.
Okay.
And then, so the first time I did comedy,
the first three times I booked, maybe,
I booked like a bar show, and I knew enough people.
I got 80 people in there, did an hour and a half.
Your first time?
Bam.
Full bomb.
Also, he still has the delusion of like,
I'm gonna do 90.
Dude. I'm gonna do 90
Literally I fly I got 80 people in there about 45 minutes in a bombing so bad
This is a bar in Estonia. Yeah, are you what language are you doing this in?
This is how I did it I went all in I did two show I booked the tour of four okay bye I go to in Estonia but it's only only has like a million people like let's
go international let's think bigger take this English properly so I did two
English by two Estonian the first show I was having such a panic attack on stage. How many
weeks in the comedy is this? No no I didn't have a spot. This is like day one
I go on stage. I respect the confidence. I did like a street show I did
everything I've ever thought. Half a delirious and Estonian?
Everything. About 45 minutes in I'm having like such a I'm having a panic attack. So then I call a break. I don't
About half the crowd even my best friends leave because it's embarrassing
40 people stay and then out of panic, you know what I did. I was like, let's do a quiz
So I just did a quiz but no questions I was just I took a
laptop on stage I was googling things and then the quiz just falls apart as
they do yeah but I have three more days booked so it's slowly three more days
what the fuck I mean yeah so then I did two one more in Estonia then I did two
in English I mean and the crowds went from 80 people to maybe six by the last.
Now is the comedy, I mean, obviously four shows, whatever, is it getting better? Are
you getting better?
I can't remember.
You can't remember.
I just remember full panic.
There's no, there was no, was there any type of comedy scene over there? At all?
No, there actually was rumblings. But these guys, you know, I go to the website.
These guys couldn't do an hour dance.
Exactly.

all my textbooks in the classroom.

Latvia, Lithuania. The less you could, and this was, you could side, when the Soviet
Union collapsed, you could side with two, you could go with the Russian people or you

the nice suburban schools.

What was your first job growing up?
Like where you went and not stealing or boosting cars or what?
Did you work when you were a kid?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always.
OK, I did construction when I was 15, 16. OK. But you know, you're the kid running. Yeah, I'm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, always. I did construction when I was like 15, 16.
But you know, you're the kid running around,
I'm not the fucking guy with the...
You're holding the ladder.
He didn't think so.
Yeah, literally, I'm not even holding the ladder.
What do you think, you were the architect on the project?
He's telling the formula,
listen, I'll show up at 11, that's it.
That's not your deal.
That's all I got, I don't do morning.
Is this in the summers, or were you working during the school,
never during the school year?
Not really, no.
Summer, summer, summer job, you know.
And I was not a good employee, as you can imagine.
Then I went into bar back and bartending,
because, oh, I was a bouncer at these nightclubs for a bit.
How old?
I was 18, that's when I started.
Okay.
And whenever there would be a fight,
go straight to the bathroom for a shit,
put your roach on for an hour,
dude, I would hear yelling and screaming out there.
I'm not showing up, dude.
Where the hell's Ari?
I know, yeah.
That's the shittiest security guard.
He's in the bathroom.
Train all day, Joe Rogan, by night.
Exactly.
All day.
Literally.
What the fuck?
And then I heard all these servers.
I would talk all to these waiters, and they're like, how much money they're making?
All the cash, yeah. All the cash. And then and then I was like Jesus Christ I gotta get into that and then I did
bartending for maybe seven or eight years in nightclubs restaurants this is all in this what
city did you grow up outside Tallinn it's in Estonia like that's the main capital but I did
that in Melbourne did I work for a Jamie Oliver restaurant in Melbourne for a month because I knew
I'm gonna only last a month this He's just like a high fat.
Walking out with cases of lobster.
Get why the get-in's good.
And restaurants always, they always hire,
especially in Australia or England and in America,
I bet too, because I'm like a blue-eyed European.
You wanna have this guy around,
but I would just be like, they're like,
what's your qualifications?
I'm like, qualifications?
I like to steal. I like to sleep in.
Yeah, I know it all. I would do the shittiest
cocktails for 40 bucks a cocktail at that finest restaurant and then for a
month I would just get the bag yeah yeah stealing from the register
you ever get caught yeah I wasn't sure if he's doing it for a month and then
getting the fuck out of there the only place I haven't it didn't steal with
some of the nightclubs I worked later when I already did comedy and the but owners would be my bosses
They would let me do comedy sure they were I knew the guy but if the boss is stealing
You're stealing
Yeah, I mean like if a boss if I show up if I show up for the
Weekly meeting and I come with the bus and you come with a Maserati.
Yeah, but that's the owner of the restaurant.
You're a busboy.
Yes.
You don't see the difference in that?
No.
No.
Because where's my Maserati?
He doesn't need to rub that Maserati in my face.
I don't need a Maserati, but she's like, pick me up.
So if I'm cleaning up pu sure at 3 a.m.
In the nightclub, and then you come you get no no you get four grand and I make five sixty an hour plus deep
And you go off with the Maserati with the girl. I want to fuck
Get robbed
It's that I think it's the deal of the universe you got a target on your back With this deal with the universe uh-huh any cops ever get involved you ever get pinched
Close to getting pinched no no no pinching happening all right
Okay, so then you're doing comedy over in Melbourne you're with the you're with the lady with the lady you guys are living together
How long are you over there for a year then my visa expired okay?
Estonia then I went over there for a year? Then my visa expired. OK, and then we go back to Estonia.
Then I went to Thailand for a year and I did.
I did call it in Malaysia, Cambodia.
What the fuck? You in Thailand?
Did I had a set in Cambodia where I'm like doing it for these expats?
Twenty people in the crowd.
One of them was Ari Shafir randomly.
No, yeah, that makes sense.
That's how did she go with you to Thailand? The girl?
That was it for her, huh?
He if you're not picking up, he does Thailand solo now.
He made that mistake once.
Now he does Thailand by himself.
And where do you live when you're over there?
What do you do? You're 19, 20 working at hostels, you know, like
you get to stay for free if you do the bar, which
Jesus fucking Christ.
Yeah. So you're how
assassins are made. Yeah. That's
how you make an assassin. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus. And
then how do you then how do you
get here? Um first time I did
the Seattle International Comedy
Competition and I lived in
Vancouver for a year. So you're
right. Okay. All right. So then
after Thailand you go to
Vancouver. No I lived in
Estonia became a superstar there
took over the scene. Did you really? Yeah. Yeah. No, I lived in Estonia became a superstar there took over the scene
Did you really? Yeah, how big were you in Estonia? You name it?
You name it baldie, but it's a small it's sure like being a collegiate athlete
I understand you know you're famous in the college town. It's like a million people
I mean how famous can you so you I didn't I didn't know that about I didn't know that I didn't know that you had
A proper career in
Estonia so you were doing like theaters there. Yeah, any venue making money
Doing well you living back at your mom's house. No you live in that house look like there when you were doing well
Well, I just know I mean
American standards are different you make millions of dollars. Sure. That's different. We don't, but yeah.
Yeah, I saw you at the Brooklyn Comedy Club.
I remember I met you guys like five years ago
for the first time.
And it was Brooklyn Comedy Club,
two black people in the crowd, and us three.
Like really entertaining, just a couple.
I did 90 minutes.
Just a couple.
Oh, we did long, by the way.
All of us did like 25 in our notebook
having a fucking panic attack.
Fumbling through it. What else? And we were heading nowhere. I didn't have a passport you didn't have this it was bad
I don't think you had this podcast five years ago
Remember that either and it's I don't think Brooklyn Comedy Club was around five years ago
Was the name of that okay?
Us three having a full-on panic
Hey, kind of vaguely remember this now this is going nowhere. You know sure
You're just staring out the abyss. I was probably talking to you going I can move to Estonia
And I remember be the fucking funniest deal entirely I remember introduce myself to you. I go. I'm from Estonia you go sure
Way like you were like oh another thing that's no way. Like you were like, Oh, another thing. That's not
sad. Maybe it was like another. I apologize. He's stealing your wallet at the time.
Yeah. All right. Jesus Christ. Ari, what the fuck? This guy's all over the fucking
map. Literally. So you how long are you in Estonia where you're doing good? Were
you the big star? I did like three or four years, but it was going well.
Yeah, we were building a scene.
There were some other comedians there.
We were all doing great.
The scene was building.
And you got a lot of tourism in the city that you're in, right?
Yeah, but we're doing it in Estonian still.
It's very... I have a podcast there.
Things are going great, but I just felt like...
You want more?
Yeah, I just wanted to do skill wise a bit
better and there's nobody really to follow. Okay. And I know how British people are gonna get upset by this but
there's only one place in the world where stand-up comedy is stand-up comedy.
And it's the United States. USA baby. Like the free-form personality based storytelling going for the edge
Like British comedy is amazing. The jokes are amazing all that. It's very thematic. It's very yeah
Yeah, it's just a different art a different style of the art form and in Estonia was similar because we were influenced by the Soviet
so
The only good thing about communism is they build amazing theaters, you know, cuz you have to see those for all these public speakers
Yeah, Germany's the same exactly as great thing about communism is they build amazing theaters you know because you have to be in these theaters for all these public speakers yeah Germany is
the same exactly as great the other way around a sound system when you're trying
to control like your people what you do is you build the culture because you
have to control the subconscious of your people mm-hmm so now all these remnants
of these beautiful they'd be like a town of 2,000 people in Estonia the
theaters 800 seats. Yeah
All those all those like Eastern bought if Germany is where they all every little village has a theater that it will fit most Of the village, that's what slavery and shit
Best green rooms in the world
Thousand cedar now, but there was the remnants of the theater culture. I think also in England, this is just a theory, but I think in England
where comedy is amazing, of course, it's always been a thing from the theaters where the classism
has developed a thing where a performer is looked for, like, the performer looks down
on the crowd and they love it. Like people love sure you're a grandiose thing
It's more of a presentation. They even call them like presenters. It's more of a presentation
So yeah, and the people love that people love like shit on a shit in my mouth
You know like whereas I think America I this is what I think Richard Pryor Lenny Bruce
It's all about fuck them fuck the system in very I'm in with the crowd. It's very common man, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's I'm speaking for us, not to you.
The stage is lower, I'm in, fuck everybody, fuck this.
Whereas I'm one of you guys, so I think the rebellious
comedy where fuck the system and all that,
I think it's more from here.
Right, gotcha.
Which makes sense.
Which is what I love, I love that style.
And when did you land over here?
Well, officially I moved here in June to Austin, Texas.
Joe Rogan, the one true king.
Shout out Rogan.
Shout out Joe Rogan, my one true king.
Is that where you moved first? Did you move to Austin?
Yes.
When you came here?
Yes. I visited New York a few times, you know.
I've tried.
I never just got in traction. I'm not a big... Stopping I've visited New York a few times, you know, I've tried, I've never just got in traction,
I'm not a big...
Stop being a traction in New York.
It's very tough.
I mean, the competition is so much,
there's just so many coming.
Wait, June of this year?
That's when you got here?
Like moved here, yeah.
Okay, when did you do Kill Tony for the first time?
Fucking March?
Pre-Mothership?
March.
No shit.
March of this year?
Yeah, when I did, did yes when I did kill Tony
I signed up for the open mic at the mothership and I did so well at the open mic
I got on like maybe ten minutes later. I killed Tony just randomly you got on yeah, that's fun
I didn't know because I think the last time we did it maybe then I was already
Oh, you had just like you were like a few weeks, and that was in March
Maybe when it was us at Norman that also we're just a bear. They were like you had just killed
Shit and this kid moves fuck he moves. I know it's crazy
I would have been nicer to you five years ago if I knew
If I knew you were a fucking Estonian fucking royalty. Yeah, holy shit move fast

The house I got sick
Cuz you're doing well yourself. I mean you're you're you're you're you're you're but see this is are you doing better now or in Estonia?
You probably had more purchasing power in Estonia. No like you you were like, he's stealing everything. What are you talking?
It doesn't matter.
He's going to leave with these cameras probably.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In the Estonian.
He leaves, he got no cameras, and I'm pregnant.
He's probably made copies of the keys of my credit card.
In the Estonian economy with the Estonian prices,
I was doing fine.
I was doing fine.
I think, as you know, when you start meeting people
in this business who do actual business,
you think you're doing well in comedy.
Tim Jones had a great line, you never know how much money you don't have until you start
making money.
Sure, exactly.
You are not wrong.
And then, but the American money is different.
You make so much money.
Everyone makes so much money.
I love your perspective on that.
And dude, when I went to New Jersey to do these gigs,
I walk around New Jersey, I walk around the, what is it?

East Rutherford and stuff like that.
Rutherford, yeah, yeah.
I can't even imagine being from Estonia
and doing bananas in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Beautiful.
Crazy.
Beautiful houses with a nice lawn and a dog out mm-hmm and you know the American dream and you know how New Yorkers are like
because I've been to New York for three months stretchers have done that thing

4 a.m. you can see a movie at 6 a.m. you know shit your place suck I wouldn't
want to hang out there either sure at your apartment you're saying the city
has to be open because your apartments suck.
You know like it's so expensive in New York.
Sure.
And then you go to New Jersey, same thing in Austin.
It's like the price of the house you can have.
You get so much more value out of it.
Dude I've lived in New York and I've lived under the,
I've lived in a basement apartment.
Those are the worst in New York.
Where it's like domestic violence above you.
And you're like, what is my life and you're paying out the ass

Where do you furnish? I only do furnished.
And I don't I don't even want to see, you know, when people are like,

You want all of that lumped in.
Wait, hold on a second.
How long is your lease at this apartment, at this house?
I haven't opened email.
This guy is an assassin.
He's probably squatting right now.

Yeah, all right what but it's not like I need to be off the ground
I just don't like numbers and I don't like you went to school for banking. I tried
Here's the combination of the safe.
I literally thought that, yeah, yeah.
So you rented a furnished apartment.
Yes.
That's what you're living in.
Yeah, okay, you want a suggestion?
You want a suggestion?
You guys want a suggestion?

Benefits are kind of the same way. Let's go out the middle and do this cash or whatever exactly
Yeah, I love a cash love a cash deal
What was the one either in Estonia when you started making money or I guess here one stupid purchase where you were like I?

Someone like you's gonna steal them.
Because it's gonna get, I think it's gonna get hurt.
Sure.
Like if you buy a new iPhone,
